Okay so today is a free write, so I'm about to go off on some things that have been really bugging me lately.
-First of all, RHTV "Varsity" is getting on my nerves. The term seems invented by them to feel superior rather than as a separator for the classes. It is elitist and makes no sense considering incoming freshman are in the class. I HATE it. We both air, and we both get watched by the entire school so there really isn't any difference between us in the sense of "Junior Varsity" versus "Varsity". We're the same in status. It is discriminatory without grounds for discrimination.
-Second of all, the "Things to Fix" note that they left seems somewhat arrogant. While the aim is to help us find things that are messed up with our broadcast, that's what critiques are for and it seems out of place for them to tell us how to run our broadcast. Unless of course, we have the option to leave similar notes back.
-Thirdly, certain persons have regularly informed me of said "Varsity" class's lack of desire for us to be in pictures with them, go on field trips with them, and whatnot. Look, we are not beneath them in any way and I want this to be properly expressed. I am not one who likes being put down and I feel as though we are regularly put down by the "Varsity", of whom I think I shall regularly be referring to as RHTV 1. Not because they are "Number 1" or anything, but because the members in there were a part of your first broadcast class, Mrs. Merrill.
I just don't like feeling like I'm being told that something I care about is second class. It's not fair and it's not right.
